Background

Angler is a crew member of the Flying Dutchman. Over the years he has come to serve on the Flying Dutchman, he starts to resemble an angler fish, as his name hints. He was one of the four trusted mates along with Ratlin, Penrod, and Maccus. Him along with two other of the four trusted mates, Ratlin and Maccus manned the Kraken Hammer. During the Battle of Calypso's Maelstrom he was shot by a cannonball fired by Marty and fell into the maelstrom. However, he was spotted on the deck of the Flying Dutchman while the crew carved out Will's heart, it is unknown how he survived. It suggests that perhaps others survived as well.
